Journalism Payola
A very interesting window provided over at Newsvine into some questionable practices.
I was leery to trust media prior to this, but now?
Mike Davidson reports of a company that inquired about paying to have it's articles syndicated on Newsvine.
Finding this to be a little, umm, out of the ordinary, they listened to the pitch, only to find that companies (for instance, *insert mega electronics store here*) pay this company to write articles about their industry and sprinkle quotes from their employees and executives throughout
.
Unbelievable.
